BC Partners in Planning has evolved since its conception in 1996, and its official opening in 1997.  The photos and articles below tell our story of the journey that has taken us to where we are today! Tap on the photos for the full article.

​BCPIP offically opened their doors with a royal reception in April 1997.  The mayor of West Vancouver was present to assist "the Queen" with the ribbon cutting!  The office was located at 24th and Marine Drive in Dundarave.

​The Partners built their client base through newsletters, advertising and offering expertise to local media.  They were frequently featured in Michael Kane's "Smart Money" column, advising on everything from insurance to retirement.

​In 2002, Marian was recognized as the BC "Financial Planner of the Year" by the Canadian Association of Financial Planners.  The Snowballs also received much media attention regarding family planning - each of their four children was born in Norway!

​BCPIP has moved premises twice, but has stayed in the same block of Dundarave.  An in-house CPA accounting practice was added in 2005, requiring additional staff and space.
The partners are all active in the local community and Marian has been an instrumental member of the Dundarave Business Association. ​
When Vancouver hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics, BCPIP got into the spirit with banners, flags and a scoreboard for medal counts.  The banners have been hoisted for other events such as the 2011 Stanley Cup final (Canucks vs Bruins) and for the 2012 summer Olympics in London, as pictured in the North Shore News photo, right.
